An exciting hike across England's most wooded county - Surrey. We get superb panoramic views including from Leith Hill topped with it's 18th century tower - one of the highest points in Southern England. We also hike parts of the North Downs Way National Trail and pass through the vineyards of England's largest vineyard where you can see the vines growing and if in Summer also see the grapes.
🌟 Highlights
• Explore the Surrey Hills AONB, England’s most wooded county
• Conquer Leith Hill (314m) — the highest point in South East England
• Visit Leith Hill Tower, an 18th-century Gothic folly with breathtaking panoramic views
• See Tilling Springs, the source of the River Tillingbourne
• Walk through Denbies Wine Estate, England’s largest vineyard
We start off in the market town of Dorking and our hike follows ancient sandy trails and woodlands. We then follow the Greensand Ridge to ascend Leith Hill and visit the Gothic Leith Hill Tower - the highest point in South East England at 314 metres. Leith Hill has been a famous picnic spot for nearly 200 years and is where we will also have our picnic lunch and if you're feeling energetic you can climb the tower's 78 spiral steps to see views towards London and the English Channel.
Our trail passes ancient woods with amazing displays of colour and takes us to Tilling Springs - the source of the River Tillingbourne which flows through several villages powering their mills. We hike up to the North Downs Way and are rewarded with frequent views of the valley below and towards Dorking.
Hiking through woodland for a while, the path comes to Ranmore Common and the beautiful church of St Barnabas built in 1860 and we continue through Denbies Wine Estate - England’s largest vineyard with views of Boxhill.
